Career Profile

Work Experience

• Senior Software Engineer, STACKIT GmbH & Co. KG

  2026 - present

  Continuing my Service Enablement team engagement at STACKIT as described under the Novatec Consulting / CGI entry below.

  Since February 2026, I moved internally to the Distributed Cloud team, where my primary focus is automating deployments within air-gapped environments.

  Tech stack: Docker, Go, Kubernetes, Terraform, Azure DevOps, HashiCorp Vault, Solace, kcp, authentik, Temporal

• Principal Software Engineer / Executive Consultant, Novatec Consulting GmbH, acquired by CGI

  2024 - 2026

  Deployed to STACKIT on the Service Enablement team. The core product was an event-driven backend responsible for enabling and disabling infrastructure services for customers, including the orchestration of service dependencies. Beyond implementation, the role carried significant project management responsibilities: designing features, planning timelines, and coordinating delivery across the team. Further work included extending Go microservices, managing API gateway solutions, and maintaining robust CI/CD pipelines in a complex, high-availability environment. The role continued under CGI following their acquisition of Novatec Consulting in 2025.

  Tech stack: Docker, Go, Kubernetes, Terraform, Azure DevOps, HashiCorp Vault, Istio, Envoy, Temporal

• Senior Software Engineer, Form3

  2022 - 2024

  At Form3, I maintained and optimized key components of a high-throughput payment platform. Responsibilities spanned DevOps work — infrastructure-as-code with Terraform, migrating CI/CD tooling — through to debugging and feature development in Go. Participated in an on-call rotation, ensuring platform reliability under production pressure.

  Involved techstack:

  Docker, Go, AWS, NATS, IBM MQ, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Terraform, CockroachDB

• Software Developer, LYNQTECH GmbH, Hannover

  2021 - 2022

  As company-wide lead backend engineer at Lynqtech, I worked closely with the architecture team to define and enforce coding conventions, maintainability standards, and engineering best practices across all backend teams. Beyond the cross-team responsibility, I maintained existing microservices and designed new ones to meet evolving business requirements, with a focus on reliability and scalability. I also defined platform infrastructure using Terraform, ensuring services met both technical and operational standards.

  Tech stack: Docker, Go, Kubernetes, Drone CI, Redis, PostgreSQL, AWS, Terraform

• Software Developer, 4Com GmbH & Co. KG, Hannover

  2019 - 2021

  As part of a self-sustained Platform Services Team of five, I delivered foundational backend services consumed by multiple internal teams. A core responsibility was providing company-wide identity and access management via OAuth and OIDC, including the supporting packages and libraries that other teams integrated into their own services. We also actively consulted those teams on containerisation, helping them migrate away from VM-based deployments.

  I led the team’s own transition to Docker Swarm, with host provisioning automated via Ansible and deployments fully driven through the CI/CD pipeline, reducing manual operations and improving deployment consistency across the platform.

  Tech stack: Docker, Go, NATS, Docker Swarm, Traefik, GoCD, Redis, Vue.js, MySQL, MongoDB, Ansible, Keycloak

• Software Engineer, mediaTest digital GmbH, Hannover

  2017 - 2019

  As lead developer with two direct reports, I designed and built an event-driven microservice pipeline from scratch to automate the security testing of mobile applications. Android and iOS apps could be submitted for testing, upon which they were automatically downloaded, reverse engineered, and statically analysed for vulnerabilities. This included defining CI/CD pipelines, testing strategies, and deployment workflows for the platform. A Vue.js and TypeScript frontend provided visibility into the status of apps progressing through the pipeline — this was also my first hands-on experience with TypeScript, which I adopted early in its wider adoption curve.

  Later I also supported the Ops department with the hosting infrastructure, which spanned virtual machines, Ceph storage, and Docker Swarm clusters.

  Tech stack: Docker, Go, RabbitMQ, Docker Swarm, Traefik, GitLab CI, Redis, Python, Frida, TypeScript, MySQL, MongoDB, Ceph

• Developer, Smartexposé GmbH, Berlin

  2016 - 2017

  Developed RESTful APIs and customer-facing websites, translating client requirements into clean, maintainable solutions with a strong focus on user experience. A key part of the role involved importing and transforming real estate data using the OpenImmo format, converting it into a structure suitable for web consumption. I also authored a concept to decompose the existing import monolith into a microservice architecture, enabling parallel processing to speed up imports and isolating malformed data so it no longer blocked the entire pipeline.

  Later in the role I took on a lead position with three direct reports, as the team built a WordPress-based website builder allowing customers to integrate their own sites with our database and APIs.

  Tech stack: PHP (CakePHP 3.x), GitLab CI, Python, MySQL, Memcached, WordPress

• Founder & Developer, numeric lab GbR, Hannover

  2011 - 2016

  As founder of numeric lab, I led client engagements from initial consultation through delivery and post-launch support. I developed custom web applications tailored to client requirements, combining technical depth with full project ownership across the entire development lifecycle. Projects ranged from CMS-driven websites and e-commerce solutions to bespoke business applications, serving clients across various industries. I managed infrastructure, version control, and CI/CD pipelines, while also handling client communication, requirements gathering, and delivery planning.

  Tech stack: Docker, GitLab CI, PHP (Laravel, CakePHP 2.x), JavaScript, MySQL, WordPress, Contao

• Developer, Linde Welding GmbH, Leuna

  2012 - 2013

  Maintained and extended an e-commerce platform, ensuring stability and delivering incremental improvements to meet business needs.

  Tech stack: PHP (CakePHP 2.x), JavaScript, MySQL

• IT Assistant, Avilix Group AG, Hannover

• Web Developer, evoworkx media GmbH, Frankfurt am Main

  2009 - 2010

  Developed e-commerce platforms with an integrated PIM system, contributing to scalable and feature-rich solutions for clients. Also responsible for frontend work, translating designs into HTML and CSS while ensuring cross-browser compatibility.
